It's difficult to know what to say about Ovi Store and Nokia - it's such a mess, and both are rapidly becoming irrelevant.
It's fine for me and I don't think that should be taken to mean it's not good. It's just fine. Which is good.
No problems with finding apps, no payment issues and no download issues. I'm happy waiting for new apps to arrive (Angry Birds level packs to name but one) and having been a Linux user for some years, I've learned to be patient.
Of course, I would like to see more apps for my N900 but, at the same time, I'm happy that it doesn't have over 200,000 apps and counting because 98% of what's available on Apple's App Store is either pointless, useless or irrelevant to me. The same goes for the Android store, too.
That said, I've never owned a Nokia before and am a little bemused to find that the Nokia support experience isn't living up to my somewhat high expectations.
I'll lower them in future...

But I love my N900.
